When he sees something he dislike (with the fact he’s didn’t even care in the 1st place), he’ll critisized via email cc the whole world! I love my job to death but he’s giving me depression. What can I do?

Sorry, but if your boss is truly a JERK, they will not respond well when you ask things like,”What are your biggest weaknesses and how can I help compensate for them?”, no matter HOW you put it…

Come on.

Chrissy:
This is great stuff, in particular Design the Alliance. It can seem like such an obvious thing to find out what your boss needs from you, but it’s an easy thing to miss. You assume that you know. But not every boss is a great communicator, and as employees it’s easy to assume that since you would want something done in a certain way, that your boss would too.

Understanding the nuances of your boss’s preferences can absolutely make the difference in your working relationship!

You do a great job of laying it all out. I would just add, that when you decide to leave, and therefore feel less victimized by a loser-boss, try to be almost obsequiously pleasant with him. It can be your little game…”I don’t have to put up with him so I’m going to be the model employee and he’ll be very upset when i leave.” You get the satisfaction of playing your little game and also hopefully get the benefit of a good reference.
